But he is a top ranked player. He may not be #1, but there's not much difference between him and Ke Jie (as we've seen in the recent MLily Cup).

I was surprised. My wife didn't even bat an eye when I said I'd probably stay up to watch and take the following day off of work.

Just to confirm, the games are being played over 5 days, are you planning to take a week off?

No, I think I will take the first day. I'm only so crazy.
Actually, it makes a big difference how long the games are. Korea is 14 hours ahead of me, unless the games run into the late afternoon, they won't be too late for me.

Ah, yeah, the time limits don't seem likely to lead to super long games.

I hope he does. Have the time limits been announced?

Re: AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol to stream Live on youtube!!!!
Honestly if they don't play with long time settings I won't care very much. It would be kind of lame of Google claimed victory after winning with absurd time settings. I wouldn't consider the AI to have "won" until it wins with reasonable timing.

I'm fine as long as Lee sedol is the one who choose time setting, just like Fan Hui games.

I made the same assumption haha.
Here's hoping to long time settings.

kthxbye
Yes, it is his last name. Koreans put the family name first and the personal name last.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
